Ottawa Senators head coach Guy Boucher confirmed Thomas Chabot will be out for at least Saturday's game versus the Washington Capitals after suffering an upper-body injury Friday night.
Chabot left the game and did not return after taking a hit from New York Islanders forward Matt Martin in the second period. Martin was not penalized on the play.
Boucher added the Sens' top blue-liner is not dealing with a head injury, and a timetable for his return is unknown.
Frustration boiled over during the contest's dying seconds. The teams combined for 38 penalty minutes with less than a minute on the clock, which included a fight between Martin and Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki.
